Only person in the world who not only is capable of actually forming an argument against democracy (not such a good thing), and actually lives up to his extremist ideology. Finnish angst filled "I hate the world"-teens worship him. The ectreme green movement supports and partially practices some of the less extreme teachings of his.

He actually has a coherent theory about the nature and its place on this planet, but he completely ignores humans in his equations. With purpose may I add. His critizism of the mainstream green movement I agree with, as well as his arguments for the importance and nature of enviroment. I would however disagree with the means he intends to reach these goals. They are to say... harsh. Effective but harsh. I would much rather try out more technological and humanitarian ways before succumbing before concumption.

He also makes near perfect stand against the so called pro-lifers. Pro-lifers only think about the quantity of life, if even that. He would point out how life is pointless without quality, and how quality of life should be chosen above the quantity of life.

His ideas might sound moronic and traditionally fascist, but when one reads the reasoning behind his oppinions he does not seem that much of an asshole. He is just a moderate asshole.

In short: My stance is very neutral.
Some good ideas, some bad ideas. His works are mostly reasoning behind these ideas.

No more ridiculous than any of the other distasteful petty bourgeois mouth pieces that crawl out of holes every now and then (Primitivists, third-worldists,etc).
